She really seems like such a footnote character. Same thing as people mentioning Anna for Fire Emblem to represent the series because she appears in every game (as a kind of Easter egg) and has a minor playable role in awakening.

i await at least one of the battle toads move set too...
Just trying to ease into the most likely scenario.
But really though, does Miku count? Not even sure if she counts as a videogame character.
She has a videogame.
I mean they let in the Pokémon and that's a game series based off of an anime.
...and replacing him with Monado Dunban? Great idea!
3/10, troll harder man.

Where's dash attackPlaytonic Games retweeted this fanmade moveset for Banjo and Kazooie. Looks pretty basic, but still cool:
They forgot dash attack
EDIT: Where's my eyesight
You mean an anime based off a video game.

To be fair, every Pokemon added to Smash, except Ivysaur, had been a popular and major character in the anime at some point.
If Pokemon were picked by the games, we'd have characters like Machamp and Gardevoir, popular game Pokemon, rather than main characters from the cartoon.

Not sure if this has been discussed already. Both Mewtwo and Lucas' DLC railers used music that is already in SSB4. If further DLC characters are pre-planned, it's quite likely that there's already music for them in the game. After, all it would be weird for, say, Snake to use Nintendo music or for his songs not to be in the game.
Both the trailers for the DLC characters used Brawl music specifically, so that actually widens the net. Sakurai doesn't seem to be picky about using the newest music for the newest characters.
Now, that doesn't necessarily mean anything. And even if it's true, there's a bunch of characters that it could point to. For example, K.Rool's first boss theme is in the game, and Dixie Kong could probably use Mangrove Cove or something. Doesn't tell us much.
But let's look at some of the games that have music in SSB4 without having a character. I think these are interesting:
These aren't all equally likely, but let's look at them. Both Barbara the Bat and Isaac have had their assist trophies removed, but they actually have new music in this game. Weird. The Murasame Medley would be perfect for a Takamaru trailer, and so would Dillon's theme for a Dillon one.
The Baten Kaitos music is really interesting to me. I assumed Namco owned the series, but the Origins is Nintendo-published. I guess because Nintendo was working closely with Namco anyway, they used the opportunity to make use of the music. I don't think it's going to happen, but it would be neat for a Nintendo-Namco collaboration to have a characer from a Nintendo-Namco collaboration. At least, I think Monolith Soft was still mostly owned by Namco at the time. Soma Bringer's another Monolith Soft game, by the way.
Glory of Heracles is a weird thing to include music from. The series is actually owned by Paon; it's an old Data East series from the late '80s. Actually, I'm not sure if this song even comes from the Nintendo-published game. It doesn't seem to be one of the main themes or one of the battle themes.
Captain Rainbow's another interesting one. If I recall, he was one of the most popular suggestions by Japanese fans. It's like their Wonderful 101, I guess, where the character is popular despite no one having bought the game. Anyway. It would have been a good character to appear as an assist trophy, yet it didn't. But we got the music, so the suggestion didn't go totally unheard. Hm.
You can also note characters that don't have music in the game. On the assist trophy front, there's nothing for Saki Amamiya, for instance. Ray Mk III's assist trophy is gone now, but there's no Custom Robo music either.
(Note: I typed this post up during a class, which is why it's so rambly.)

There should be a rule saying that you are not allowed to play Star Wolf theme unless Wolf is playable in the game.
So are there going to be 2.5 playable Star Wolves? ...Wolfs?
We gon' have fun with thi' thang
I have completely no care into Banjo Kazooie but this moveset looks really cool, though beeing a bit generic.Playtonic Games retweeted this fanmade moveset for Banjo and Kazooie. Looks pretty basic, but still cool:

Put my votes in for Toad and Knuckles.
The additional music and the removal of the AT/Trophy (seriously, there isn't a single trophy of the GS series in Smash) always gave me hope for Isaac...!
Wonderful 101 also has the final boss theme.

The Star Wolf/Sector Z remix is the trolliest troll song since Roy's Hope. It being on Corneria of all stages is even more hilarious, given how close Sector Z and Corneria are in appearance.
"Here's the theme to a cut character and a requested retro stage, ain't I a stinker? lol guys"
It's kind of fun to think of songs for each character though
Wolf - Star Wolf (Assualt)
Roy - Roy's Hope (obviously)
Pichu - Pokemon Stadium 2 (Melee), only Johto song in the game lol
Squirtle - Pokemon Main Theme (Brawl), same as Charizard
Ivysaur - Route 1/Viridian City (Brawl)
K. Rool - Gangplank Galleon
Dixie - Despite her not being in that game, I think they'd use the Rocketbarrel remix. It seems to be the "main" DK song in Smash 4.
Ice Climbers - Icicle Mountain (Melee)
Banjo-Kazooie - Title Screen (Remix) Hypothetical remix of the main theme of Banjo-Kazooie
Snake - Encounter (Brawl). Totally obvious this would be his theme.

This moveset looks extremely generic and offers nothing unique outside of the novelty of being able to play as a Microsoft character. The 90s are over. Rare is not coming back. Banjo is not coming back. STAHP.

K. Rool is owned by Nintendo. Nice attempt at snark, though. Unfortunately, that's not going to erase him from the ballot.

I've been thinking something similar the past few days, but for a few other charcters.
Wonder-Red: Tables Turn (Original). It goes for about a minute before repeating, making it perfect for the trailer.
Isaac: Isaac's Battle Theme. While Venus Lighthouse would be an amazing track, I can't think of a more deserving song than the battle theme for Golden Sun.
Andy: Andy's Anthem. As much as I'd love an Advanced Wars rep, this isn't likely to happen. However, the song is a given for his trailer.

Still don't understand how Stickerbrush Symphony is in smash but not Enchanted Forest. Then again the DKC music selection is a little... weird (hey guys, how many remixes of the same song can we put in!?). The glorious Tropical Freeze soundtrack (based David Wise) is hardy there at all as well...
It's not just DKC. The only new F-Zero music is another remix of Mute City. There's a bunch of new Kirby remixes (of songs we already had remixes of). There are three version of the same Punch-Out song with absolutely nothing from Super Punch-Out. I was actually thinking of making a thread about it.

What confuses me is why they randomly cut the Map Screen/Bonus Level music from Brawl.
It was a decent remix and wasn't replaced with anything resembling it. It was just straight cut, not like it wouldn't fit on any of the DK levels. Especially since Returns uses the same map song and bonus room themes...
Well... Punch Out (Wii) actually remixes the same theme a dozen times, so it's just part of the series. I'm actually surprised the song wasn't in Smash even more (I would have liked a medley of fighter themes, like Von Kaiser and Super Macho Man)
Banjo-Kazooie moveset looks generic, but it did get the general look and movement of the characters right. It didn't even get into any hijinks with egg types, Breegull Bash, Mumbo's Wrench, or a lot of abilities that they had when separated in Tooie. Having a join/separate mechanic would be cool for them. Banjo could put things in his backpack and Kazooie would have greater mobility. I'd like to call it Stop n' Swap. 
Gotta love the irony.

Playtonic Games retweeted this fanmade moveset for Banjo and Kazooie. Looks pretty basic, but still cool:
This isn't bad at all! I'd probably try to work in a few more of Banjo's learnable moves from the first two games of his though. Love how they incorporated Dragon Kazooie, even if that might make it too similar to Yoshi but with over 50 characters there's bound to be some overlap.
Edit: As for Banjo's eligibility on the poll...to be fair, as far as we know, every video game character is eligible. Banjo seems as likely as any other third party at least. He'd be my second pick, easily.
Also, Banjo character means Spiral Mountain stage. Do it.

Since I played Tooie with Dragon Kazooie for so long that I started to forget that Kazooie is actually a breegull... I approve of that final smash. Banjo covering his eyes is just icing on the cake

Someone made this for the Chorus Kids.
Most of the moves were pulled from Rhythm Heaven Fever.
Its cute, I like it.
Edit: How would it involve the other 2 kids though?
The other two are behind the main Chorus Kid & they pop up for certain moves.
I see it now, I thought it was after-images for some reason.

I'd rather fight on Rusty Bucket with poisonous water that hurts you while you swim.
It could be a fairly large level, Corneria style. You fight on the length of the boat. It wouldn't really need any additional hazards besides the poisonous water.
